    Nwankwo must stay

    I thought Micheal Nwankwo was close to man of the match last night and looked a player that we need in midfield. He did nothing wrong and the time he won the ball back down by the Shed towards the end was magic. You'd notice George likes trading passes with him too which is a good sign of a player.

    Spot on Neil boy he looks a class act,someone we really need in midfield who can put his foot on the ball look up and pick out a pass.Nwankwo can really pass well,he gets stuck in and he wins a good few balls in the air for a small fella.Himself and colin who has been our best midfielder by far this year IMO could be a great partnership in the middle.

    Nwan ko had looked good enough in the U21's but last night he really stepped up his performance.

    If we see him dropped for a certain hit the bar contestant I'll kill myself.

    Yeah. I'd like to see the two of them get a go at building a partnership for the last two games as well.
    His jumping ability was bizarre.
    He seemed to jump and, just as i was cursing him for being so small, manage to claw another few inches upwards. It was a very good full debut. Minus a few points for blazing wide near the Shed, but looks fairly handy.
    Whats the deal with work permits? I know hes got one so obviously its not that strict here?

    If the hit the bar contestant or HBC is played ahead of Micháel then questions would have to be asked ..... and the first one being

    Why ??
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I think that can be used as new criteria for midfield players - if George won't pass to to you then you not good enough.

    Work permits are simple enough in this country i think. Get player, promise him contract & get work permit. Probably need to be renewed yearly but no problem if still under contract.

    According to Dolan what we saw against derry is "only 20% of what he is capable of"

    If so he could kick serious ass
    I'm gonna take a blow torch to everyone who writes "any info on......." on the desks in the ucc library.

    Nwankwo is a great prospect and he'll only improve the more games he gets. Glad he's gotten a shot at least after impressing with the U21's.

    Apart from our recent matches where we were dire against the likes of derry ucd and longford, we really haven't done much hoofing (apart from derek)

    Billy Woods has been hoofing himself to Deccie Daly-like status for the last 3 months, even Hoggy and Dan are beginning to catch the bug at times.

    Sometimes a hoof is the right thing to do, eg/ end of game defending lead, but i do hate when a ball is hoofed on the break, etc.

    Yeah that drives me nuts too, in the game against derry they were all hoofing at the back but for dan, hoggie and sometimes billy, it's not a pervading characteristic.
